Recent rate measurements of B_s mesons and Lambda_b baryons produced in sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton and Upsilon(5S) electron-positron collisions are reviewed, including the first observations of six new decay modes: B_s -> D_s^+…
The strong decays of excited nonstrange baryons into the final states Lambda K, Sigma K, and for the first time into Lambda(1405) K, Lambda(1520) K, Sigma(1385) K, Lambda K*, and Sigma K*, are examined in a relativized quark pair creation…
The baryon decay modes of B,bar{B}-> N_{1}bar{N}_{2}(f), bar{N}_{1}N_{2}(bar{f}) provide a frame work to test CP-invariance in baryon sector. It is shown that in the rest frame of B, N_{1} and bar{N}_{2} come out with longitudnal…

We express the amplitudes for charmless three-body B decays in terms of diagrams. In addition, we show how to use Dalitz-plot analyses to obtain decay amplitudes which are symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of two of the…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays based on the diagrammatic approach with $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. We extract the two $W$-exchange effects as $E_{\bf B}$ and $E^\prime$ that contribute to the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0…

I briefly describe the use of the three-body decay modes $B^0 \to D^{(*)-} D^{(*)0} K^+$ to investigate open issues in charmed meson spectroscopy, and of the time dependent $B^0 (\bar {B^0}) (t) \to D^{-} D^{+} \pi^0$ transitions for a…
We report on a search for charmless hadronic B decays to the three-body final states, K0S h+ pi-, K+ h- pi0, K0S h+ pi0 (h+- denotes a charged pion or kaon), and their charge conjugates, using 13.5 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity produced…
We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons. Final states include $\pi\pi$, $K \pi$, and $KK$ with both charged and neutral kaons and pions; $\pi\rho$, $K \rho$, and $K^*\pi$; and $K\phi$, $ K^*\phi$, and…

Cabibbo-allowed two-body hadronic weak decays of bottom baryons are analyzed. Contrary to the charmed baryon sector, many channels of bottom baryon decays proceed only through the external or internal W-emission diagrams. Moreover,…
We have studied two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons into the final states phi K and phi K^*. Using 9.7 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the CLEO II detector, we observe the decays B- -> phi K- and B0 -> phi K*0 with the…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on $\mathbf{k_T}$ factorization, we investigate the charmless decay mode $B \to K_0^*(1430)\phi$. Under two different scenarios (S1 and S2) for the description of scalar meson…
Decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons to the charmless baryonic final states $p \overline{p} h^+ h^{\prime-}$, where $h$ and $h^\prime$ each denote a kaon or a pion, are searched for using the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a sample…
In the quark-diagram scheme, we study the charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}^* M$, where ${\bf B}_c$ is $\Lambda_c^+$ or $\Xi_c^{+(0)}$, together with ${\bf B}^*$ ($M$) the decuplet baryon (pseudoscalar meson). It is found that…
